Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-
Avoidance Assist disabled
OTM070124N
When the rear bumper around the rear-
side radar or sensor is covered with
foreign material, such as snow or rain,
or installing a trailer or carrier, it can
reduce the detecting performance and
temporarily limit or disable Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist.
If this occurs, the ‘Rear Cross-Traffic
Safety system disabled. Radar blocked’
warning message will appear on the
cluster.
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance
Assist will operate normally when
such foreign material or trailer, etc. is
removed.
If Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance
Assist does not operate normally after
it is removed, we recommend that the
vehicle be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
warning
• even though the warning message
does not appear on the cluster, Rear
Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate properly.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-
Avoidance Assist may not operate
properly in an area (for example:
open terrain), where any substance
are not detected after turning ON the
vehicle.
CAUTION
Turn off Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-
Avoidance Assist to install a trailer,
carrier, etc., or remove the trailer,
carrier, etc. to use Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision-Avoidance Assist.
Limitations of Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision-Avoidance Assist
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not operate normally, or it
may operate unexpectedly under the
following circumstances: • Departing from where trees or grass
are overgrown
• Departing from where roads are wet
• Speed of the approaching vehicle is
fast or slow
Braking control may not work, driver’s
attention is required in the following
circumstances: • The vehicle severely vibrates while
driving over a bumpy road, uneven
road or concrete patch
• Driving on a slippery surface due to
snow, water puddle, ice, etc.
• The tire pressure is low or a tire is damaged
• The brake is reworked

However, if one or more of the following
occurs, first check whether the ultrasonic
sensor is damaged or blocked with
foreign material. If it still does not work
properly, we recommend that the vehicle
be inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer. • The audible warning does not sound.
• The buzzer sounds intermittently.
• The ‘Ultrasonic sensor error or

warning
• Reverse Parking Distance Warning
is a supplemental function. The
operation of Reverse Parking
Distance Warning can be affected
by several factors (including
environmental conditions). It is the
responsibility of the driver to always
check the rear view before and while parking.
• Your new vehicle warranty does not
cover any accidents or damage to
the vehicle due to the malfunction of
Reverse Parking Distance Warning.
• Pay close attention when driving
near objects, pedestrians, and
especially children. Some objects
may not be detected by the
ultrasonic sensors, due to the objects
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effectiveness of
the sensor.
Limitations of Reverse Parking
Distance Warning • Reverse Parking Distance Warning
may not operate normally when:
- Moisture is frozen to the sensor
- Sensor is covered with foreign material, such as snow or water
(Reverse Parking Distance Warning
will operate normally when such
foreign material are removed.)
- The weather is extremely hot or cold The sensor or sensor assembly is disassembled
- The surface of the sensor is pressed hard or an impact is applied with a
hard object
- The surface of the sensor is scratched with a sharp object
- The sensors or its surrounding area is directly sprayed with high
pressure washer •
Reverse Parking Distance Warning
may malfunction when:
- Heavy rain or water spray is present
- Water flows on the surface of the sensor
- Affected by another vehicle’s
sensors
- The sensor is covered with snow
- Driving on uneven road, gravel roads or bushes
- Objects that generates ultrasonic waves are near the sensor
- Installing the license plate differently from the original location
- The vehicle bumper height or ultrasonic sensor installation has been modified
- Attaching equipments or accessories around the ultrasonic
sensors
• The following objects may not be
detected:
- Sharp or slim objects, such as ropes, chains or small poles.
- Objects, which tend to absorb sensor frequency, such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
- Objects smaller than 100 cm (40 in.) in length and narrower than 14 cm
(6 in.) in diameter.
- Pedestrians, animals or objects that are very close to the ultrasonic
sensors
• Parking Distance Warning Indicators
may be displayed differently from
the actual detected location when
the obstacle is located between the
sensors.
• Parking Distance Warning indicator
may not occur sequentially depending
on vehicle speed or obstacle shape.
• If Reverse Parking Distance Warning
needs repair, we recommend that the
vehicle be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
